Importance of Role Playing in Class

        Have you ever witnessed a child that doesn't like to play? How you ever seen a child that doesn't enjoy just playing around? I doubt it. I believe every child loves that. That's why implementing role playing in class has really changed my class honestly. I have learned that learning through role play has many benefits especially on young children. They are able to communicate with others better. Also, they learn in different ways. I have actually tried this with my students. We were learning about jobs and careers. As such, each student dressed up as whoever he/she wants to be in the future, got some toys and tools based on their chosen career, and they role played. Honestly, the experience was fantastic and memorable both for me and for my students. They were learning, communicating, and actually learning interesting things. By doing so, the activities will be authentic, interesting, engaging, fun, and educational all at the same time. As teachers, I believe that it is essential to integrate role playing into our classrooms looking at its' huge benefits.
